SAN FRANCISCO, July l3.-The Chronicle
prints an editorial charging that the presi-
dents attitude with regard to the charges
against Herbert f. Beecher, collector of
customs at Port Townsend, is merely a
piece of bravado, and that the officials at
the treasury department have long been
aware of the gross Irregularities practised
by Beecher, but have not dared to remove
him on account of the feeling prevalent
that the president regarded Beecher AS his
especial protege.
